This ensures a more reliable and continuously standardized skills taxonomy.

Value

• Organizations require tools to maintain a reliable skills taxonomy by standardizing and unifying global data from different sources continuously. Further, admins need efficient mechanisms to review and manage skills inferred by Eightfold based on talent pool changes (company data) and industry benchmarks.

• This release provides a robust, standardized UI for managing skills, ensuring unification and harmonization of skills data. The introduction of Autosave streamlines administrative tasks. Dedicated tabs (Your Skills and Skills to Review) allow for clear segmentation of current skills versus AI-inferred skills needing approval (New from {company} and New from {benchmark industry}). The ability to perform bulk actions greatly increases efficiency in processing many suggested skills.

• With this release, customers will experience improvements in productivity, data governance, and data integrity.

Impact on existing workflows

• The explicit step of saving changes is removed; changes are immediately active (Autosaved).

• Bulk selection on the Main Skill Engine page enables bulk delete and bulk export. On the Skills to Review section, bulk selection enables Add skills, Delete skills, and Export skills.

• Skill splitting is disabled if the skill being edited doesn't have equivalent skills present.

Initial setup

This feature will be available to customers by default. Customers don't need to do anything to see this change in their Eightfold environment by the sandbox and GA dates.
